Maggie’s Song of the day.

[Not a Sniper]

I saw him at Red Rocks in 1998??? Anyway, a travesty that him and Jimmie Vaughan opened for Johnny Lang.

That is a crime. Until SRV showed up mid-80's, those 2nd gen bluesdudes were SERIOUSLY underpaid and ignored for air time. Johnny Lang is/was very good picking up the blues as a young man, but damn. And, just because I'm "talking" here, I gotta drop another one (SRV is my guy for blues-just, unnaturally talented at knowing what to play without ripping anyone off).

 

[Lapuapalooza]

In the first few pages I posted a video of SRV doing 3rd Stone From The Sun from the ElMacombo show/video. IMO the best video footage of SRV and his talents.

SRV? Yeah, I’ve heard of him...

My ‘59.

El Mocambo, without question. Although after getting booed off after the first Montreux and seeing him come back dressed as a fuckin' peacock with a "bad" attitude for the second (video I posted earlier with Johnny Copeland), that was pretty damn funny. LOL.

You win with the '59. I have an SRV signature (shocking I know), a white 2000 MiM that I face lifted via neck/pickups (named Jimmie) and am right now building a custom (Warmoth) for "Buddy" (black w/white polka dots natch). I also have a 78 P-Bass I picked up from a buddy while doing my first Deutchland tour for Uncle Sugar.

Another very talented dude-too soon.

 

[Lapuapalooza]

Wow. One of the truly great ones that did so much to shape the sound and technique of the rock and roll electric guitar. Words can not express my sadness right now. Every friggin kid that grew up with a guitar in the late ‘70s & 80’s has a broken heart....

The only problem with your post is.... I can't like it more than once!

 

[Not a Sniper]

Was looking for Bill Withers, and stumbled across this dude. Oddly, do not know shit about him, but I thought his Withers cover was awesome....



I will be checking out his other stuff.

EDIT: At 22M views, it looks like I am the only one who doesn't know about this guy.

LOL... heard this song today on the radio and it made me happy. Damn, I'm aging.

Anyhoo-be patient, and listen to the yapping in the early part of the video. Some talent talking. The song... and Michael Schenker speak for themselves. A rare "Gibson" moment for me as a Fender guy. Just saying. Headed for the weekend.

Was trying to find something unusual, that I dig, and everyone may not know. Here is the "original" badass IMO. (I know Elvis is pissed at me now)



Dude was a Squid (I don't hold that against him much-LOL), crashed his Triumph and mangled a leg; became a lush and hooked on pain killers, croaking WAY too early in the 70's when I was a kid.

ToP Hell yeah! I played trumpet in high school. First time I heard these guys I said WTF
Another good one from the same era. Actually played this one in marching band

So, a dozen years ago or so... Buddy Guy shows up with this kid. Crazy. Quinn Sullivan. 8 yrs old:

Patterns/scales go only so far. This kid is something else.

Yeah you can have all the Joe Bonamasas you want, I’ll take this kid

Oh snap.

Bonomassa is pretty damn good.

This kid was 8 and was insanely good. Never seen that. Now he's a young man vs an old ass Bonomassa? My preference is Bonnomassa - that's just my sound preference.

 

[Moe Ron]

I get it. Joe just leaves me cold for some reason. I always get that WTF look when the subject comes up and I express my opinion

To be clear-not always thrilled with him; but as a whole, Joe is damn good at what he does IMO.

This kid is still evolving. Never seen an 8 yr old understand blues scales and what is required in a 12 bar scenario though. Buddy is an over the top showman to be sure (not always thrilled with that), but that shit was likely not rehearsed and he was laughing his ass off that an 8 yr old could follow him.

Buddy definitely "showed him" what he was doing, but damn.. the kid is 8! That is pretty damn impressive to me, all day, any day.

@Not a Sniper
Seems you and I have similar tastes in music. And.. you talk like you might be a musician (No insult intended ). Yes? No?

 

[Not a Sniper]

Guilty. Since I was a kid.

 

[Lapuapalooza]

Joe Bonamassa is probably my favorite living guitarist. It says something about a musician when all the pro/famous players you know are in awe of his abilities.
